Pricy but quality coffee and a great ambiance. I look forward to returning when indoor seating is an option. The barista was very pleasant and helpful in making recommendations. read more

Don't walk up the stairs from the back (free parking there), it's a cross fit gym. But, as soon as I walked into the coffee shop (finally) I loved it! Clean yet warm. The barista was patient as I stood at the counter ogling the menu and "um" ing for 5 minutes. I just ordered a normal drip, and it was delish. Some of the best I've had! I can imaging it'd be a great place to get work done too-- perfectly quiet on a weekday afternoon. read more

No Frappes, no white chocolate, no flavor in this drink the barista made. Other drink was a iced vanilla latte(but no frappes?) with no flavor. Other better places in Athens to get much better quality coffee. read more

If you enjoy bright and acidic coffee, then this is the place! 1000 Faces is my new go to. The staff is super friendly and this shop is doing amazing things. The passion and love that they possess for coffee shows through and through. read more

1000 Faces Coffee - Cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I came out to Athens for a short, 2 week, visit from San Francisco and I am so happy to have found this place. I like to try out different roasters and this looked like the most quality oriented roaster in town. I stopped this morning for their public cupping and had a great time. I got there around 9:20am and thought I was going to miss it, but I lucked out and they decided not to start it till 10am today. As soon as I walked in they offered to make me a pour over of my choice and were very friendly. The Misty Valley caught my eye, so I went with that and I am extremely happy that I did. I enjoyed it so much that I'm going back later in the week to buy a freshly roasted bag of it. Their entire operation seems to take place in one room, so I got to watch them roasting while I chatted with the employees and waited for the cupping to start. They were very friendly and I am looking forward to coming back. I've only been here a short time but in my opinion they roast the best coffee in Athens. I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out. The only downside is that they aren't a full coffee shop, just a roastery. Hopefully one day they can have a coffee shop location. Until then, this is a great place to come pick up a bag of delicious coffee beans and participate in a cupping. read more

Came here on a rainy summer day. I ordered some jasmine tea and I was surprised by the presentation. The workers were very friendly and knowledgeable. Its a great place to get work done, hang out, or just enjoy some quiet time by yourself. read more

1000 Faces Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Went here for morning coffee. First of, what coffee shop opens at 10am. Asked for the gluten free muffin and was told the were out (and it was only 10:15am). Little boy at the counter says he just sold his last one earlier. Remember, this place opens at 10am. Lastly, I'm a 40 something year old woman and I don't need to be schooled by the little millennial coffee boy at the counter about how to wear a mask. This place is too stuffy, won't be back. read more

Delicious coffee and a raspberry chocolate scone. The scone was a great flakey texture that washed down beautifully with my coffee. It had just enough fruit and chocolate to add some sweetness but it wasn't overwhelming. Plus, I was very pleased with the COVID precautions. The front door is open and you walk up to a little stand, positioned about two feet inside the front door, where you pay. No one is allowed inside. The barista takes your order and walks to the counter to prepare your drinks. The extra precautions shows they care about their staff and customers. read more

I love how secluded it is literally on the other side of the tracks. growing up in athens there was never a reason to come back here so im glad something is making its way this way and sprucing up the place a bit. it has a huge hipster grungy vibe and the coffee is probably the best ive ever had. i only give it 4 stars because it seems like they specialize in bulk coffees (because obvs it is a roaster) but also i felt a little weird ordering just one cappuccino to drink here. it doesnt have a coffee shop vibe is what i mean. which is fine because like i said they do bulk coffee soooooo well. the best. and they dont have a lot of milk variety too. so yeah... doesnt seem like a place to hang out and study or whatever. and parking is a gravel lot read more

1000 Faces Coffee - Possibly the best almond cappuccino ever - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

I stumbled upon this place since I was wanting a good cup of coffee due to we all know how coffee is at banquets. Never hot enough no matter what they do and I can fairly make that statement due to I have done catering and events for over 20 years! The coffee is wonderful highly recommend walking over to it if at a meeting at the Classic Center and want a great cup of Joe! read more

So yummy and so cute and the staff was so friendly. Yes it's sort of pricey but it's quality stuff.

Care was such a nice place. You can smell the brewing and takes you places where you have been in another lives. Overall , great place to study and share work space. read more

I wanted to like it....athens has such amazing food and restaurants and you cannot beat the prices. I am constantly amazed when I visit and can get a $3 coffee vs. $5-$10 coffees in Atlanta. The space is very well kept, however I did not care for the brew. It seemed to overpower the milk and flavoring I added to my coffee. In my opinion a good roast works well with milk rather than working against it. The service was a bit slow and I noticed I got my drink before the people in front of me. Giving it two stars because of the clean and authentic atmosphere they created, however unfortunately I am just not a fan of the brew. read more

The chai was fantastic!! It had a unique spice that I have not tasted in other chai and I really loved it. I love the atmosphere and they were playing Giveon's album and it was perfect! If I lived closer I'd go more often. It is a wonderful place. read more

Getting a free drink for birthday. They are the best in town great study spot. Good pastries and cute merch!

This is a wonderful coffee place. The windows and natural light are very good for studying, and the seating/tables are comfortable. The coffee is also good. I had a batch brew, and a refill for that is only $1. Will definately be going back. read more

1000 Faces Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Great coffee. Good atmosphere. It is made in house so I can see why it's expensive, because it's good quality. They also offer coffee-centric classes, which I personally haven't been to, but I would like to go. The baristas are always friendly. Although I love the coffee, I try to go only once in a while. Three always offer seasonal specials. For example, now they have a lavender latte, which is amazing. I wish it could stay on the menu permanently . They have local pastries that always pair well with their coffee. They also collaborate with the get comfortable campagne, where they will have either nedza's or the farm cart offering bits to eat on select sundays. The coffee shop itself is usually crowded, so it's not the ideal study spot. If you like studying in coffee shops, I would recommend getting a coffee to-go! read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in Athens. 1000 Faces Coffee does everything right when it comes to coffee. They roast and grind the coffee beans in house and the freshness of their coffees and espressos is truly noticed. In addition to wonderful coffee, they also serve kombucha and pastries. My personal favorite is their classic latte (they even have almond milk for my vegan and lactose-free friends) and the cherry tart. For those who like to brew at home, they sell their espressos and coffees and will grind them fresh for you. read more

Probably some of the better coffee I've had since moving to Georgia from Kansas City. The nitro was amazing and the blueberry Danish was soooo good (so good, in fact, that I forgot to take a picture of it). Definitely returning every time I'm in Athens. Also, staff members were all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Oh, and the bathrooms were SUPER clean - if that matters to you ^^. read more

Cool coffee spot in Athens. I stopped in while driving back to FL from Northern GA. The atmosphere was nice and open. It was cool to see the coffee roasting process through the open windows. The staff took great care in making the mocha I ordered and with preparing my husband's cold brew. Wish we lived closer! We will gladly return next time we are in the area! read more

Great service and people. The food is amazing and the ambiance gives a more comfortable vibe

Very picturesque place first and foremost. But more than that, the coffee and pastries are incredible. I got the bran/sunrise muffin which was amazingly good, and I got a cappuccino. VERY delicious and cute. read more

Such a cute aesthetic! Tried their seasonal latte - smooth, balanced, and not too sweet.

Cute but very tiny and very crowded. My latte was, as a typical latte, $5 BUT was extremely small and it was kinda cold.... Definitely miss two story coffee and their reasonable sizes read more

My first experience at 1000 Faces was delightful. They obviously care about the quality of their product, the space is delightful, and they draw an interestingly eclectic crowd that could only be found in Athens. Today, however, we had a jarring experience. I understand that businesses have operating hours. While we were lost in conversation (a reunion of friends from 25 years past), closing time (3 p.m.) came without our notice. That didn't last very long as the barista posted 'Closing Time' by Semisonic - at an aggressively loud volume. Not satisfied with club level volume, escalation became part of the experience as the barista steadily increased the volume in short increments. Here are some other, more service-based options for notifying your customers of impending closure: 1) When we ordered the pour overs at 10 minutes to closing time, a polite, "Thank you - you know we're closing in 10?" 2) Stepping over to the table at 3:00 with a similarly pleasant message. The value of the excellent $4.00 coffee was somewhat lessened by the service experience. Service should be on a par with a fine product. read more

Great little local coffee joint. Such a mix of clientel - college students, suits picking up a cup to go and casuals talking business. I had a special latte with an autumnal blend of spices and my companion had a seasonal tea. If you are looking for a quick pick me up...move on to Starbucks as the crafting of the beverages took some time, but we had the time and enjoyed the ambiance while reviewing a meeting we had just left. It was a bit on the pricy side, but worth it to enjoy the atmosphere and a tasty latte in a china cup. read more

They have a unique blend of syrups that elevate your coffee! I got a cappuccino with a delicious blueberry flavor that tasted phenomenal. It's also a great place to study and get work done, and there are a few spots to charge your laptop while doing so! 1000 Faces Coffee absolutely rocks, and is one of my favorite college town coffee shops! read more

Delicious muffin, beautiful space, decent latte, extra yt hipster scene. Having experienced similar+underwhelming customer service (unless yt) at the farmers market, I hoped it would be otherwise, but sadly, it wasn't. read more

Solid coffee... far too expensive for what they offer. Would love some food options. Internet was fast.

Hands down best coffee in Athens. I find the staff to be friendly and not pretentious like in some more serious coffee shops. Lots of natural light and plants. Overall great atmosphere! read more

Great coffee place. They roast their own beans and have very reasonably priced drinks. Limited pastry selection, but nice seating and very nice interior seating. You can also watch and learn how they roast the beans. Really cool place! read more

i love the coffee and ambiance. very cute casual place. I'm very minimalist but not in a super pretentious way

This will be an odd review. More about the facility and knowledge of baristas than the beans themselves. I drink dark roast coffee exclusively. Pour over, French press, or brewed in a high end machine. My wife and I go through about 5 lbs of beans every month that I purchase at another local grinder. I like the lower acidity and prefer a bean with chocolate undertones. 1000 faces does not offer any dark roast beans. I had an iced coffee which was perfectly fine. On the positive side. Knowledge of barista was great. They explained why they don't offer a dark roast bean. I disagree with their thinking, but that's ok too. Products available for purchase - they sell great coffee making products! Best selection in town. Ready for the awesomeness of a Technivorm Moccamaster coffee pot? You can get one here! For knowledge and retail coffee items, I can recommend this highly. If they grind a bean type that you like, I'm sure you will be happy read more

We first got to know 1000 faces coffee at our local farmers market in Atlanta, and we're hooked! Best coffee in town! Cute little shop, tons of parking, seating in and out and dog friendly! Coffee is heavenly, and if you ask nicely, they'll brew you an ice tea. read more

This place makes some MEAN cappacinos. Unfortunately, the seating kinda sucks, and the place is so mainstream that the traffic of people combined with low seating makes the place troublesome to chill at. But if you're just looking for a place to get an awesome cappacino from, this is it. read more

Great vibe. Poor service. Expensive. Don't expect to be greeted until they're ready to take your order, even if they're standing at the counter when you walk up it. Had a dirty chai that was extremely spicy. My wife ordered a tea and only after it was made did they inform us they were completely out of honey. I even gave them four separate visits before reviewing my final opinion. read more

I lived in Athens for four years and never once tried 1000 Faces. It wasn't until I moved to Augusta,and started working as a coffee roaster, that I tried 1000. The coffees they have are meticulously sampled and roasted to perfection. I'm a bit of a coffee douche/purist and they take every aspect of coffee seriously. I love it. Unfortunately I can't get it enough, but I highly recommend picking up a bag when you can or stopping by their location and having Alex make you a cortado or a pour over. The espresso Savio is a single-origin espresso and it is unbelievable. Keep up the good work, guys and gals. I can't wait to see what's next for 1000. read more

I had some spare time in the morning on a visit to UGA, so I got on Yelp to see where near by I might be able to sit, get some work done, and experience something new. I ordered a cappuccino and was very content to only pay $4. I easily found a seat at a community table but, it was getting pretty full and there definitely wasn't a surplus of outlets. Definitely a worthwhile morning stop. read more

I had the most incredible experience today at 1000 Faces Coffee and had to write a review about it. First off, April and Carmen are barista legends and they should both be awarded gold stars. I am very particular about my coffee and my selection of coffee shops to visit. This one caught my eye on Yelp and did not disappoint. Upon entering, both April and Carmen were very engaging. I was about to ask for recommendations since it seemed like they had a lot of unique handmade syrup when one called rosemary caught my eye. The funny thing is this syrup is not usually standard at the coffee shop but they said they would be happy to make a latte out of it. I told them how I once went to a place that did a Rosemary latte with an orange twist and it was unfortunately only a seasonal drink so I haven't been able to have it again. They said they would love to experiment and try to recreate that combo for me. The espresso was so smooth and their rendition of the seasonal drink I tried before was top notch, their version was even better! I would say the only bad thing about this place is that it isn't in California so I can't visit it every day. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. read more
